In the fast-moving world of construction, time is money—and having the right heavy machinery on-site when you need it can make or break a project. Whether it’s an excavator for a major dig or a bulldozer for land clearing, construction vehicle shipping is a critical part of keeping your project on schedule.
At Elevation Transport Services, we specialize in the safe, reliable, and on-time transportation of construction equipment across the United States. From excavators and bulldozers to skid steers and telehandlers, we’ve got the experience, equipment, and logistics expertise to move your fleet efficiently—so you can stay focused on getting the job done.
Why Construction Vehicle Shipping Requires Experts
Unlike standard auto transport, shipping construction vehicles involves large, heavy, and often irregularly shaped equipment that can’t just be driven onto a trailer. It requires:
• Specialized carriers such as lowboys or flatbeds
• Knowledge of oversize and overweight load regulations
• Route planning for height, weight, and width clearance
• Proper tie-downs and loading/unloading equipment
• Experience navigating DOT and state permit requirements
Elevation Transport Services handles all of this and more, ensuring that every construction vehicle we move is delivered safely, legally, and on schedule.
Popular Construction Vehicles We Ship
1. Excavators
These powerful machines are essential for digging, trenching, and demolition. Due to their large size and rotating cabs, excavator shipping often requires partial disassembly and a heavy-duty trailer. We ensure secure loading and proper permitting to deliver your excavator without delay.
2. Bulldozers
Bulldozers are indispensable for land clearing and grading. Their tracked wheels and massive blades mean they can’t be transported on standard carriers. Elevation Transport Services uses lowboy trailers and proper loading equipment to safely move bulldozers to your site.
3. Backhoe Loaders
Compact but powerful, backhoe loaders combine digging and loading capabilities. Their mid-size build makes them easier to transport than larger machines, but proper securing and route planning are still key. Our team ensures smooth delivery with minimal handling.
4. Skid Steer Loaders
Highly versatile and commonly used in both residential and commercial construction, skid steers are compact enough for quick loading but still require careful transport to prevent damage. We offer fast turnaround times for these high-demand machines.
5. Telehandler Forklifts
Telehandlers offer height and reach for material handling on large sites. Their long booms and bulky frames require specialized handling during shipping. We ensure your telehandler forklift arrives intact and operational, with no damage to its hydraulic components or tires.
6. Dump Trucks
Dump trucks may be roadworthy, but they’re often shipped for long distances or as part of a larger fleet. Whether it’s a single-unit transport or a coordinated delivery to a large-scale construction project, we move dump trucks with precision and care.
